SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eGain (NASDAQ: EGAN), the leader in AI-powered knowledge management for customer service and a Leader in the inaugural Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Customer Service Knowledge Management Systems, today announced it has won two Bronze Stevie® Awards in The 23rd Annual International Business Awards® (IBAs), recognizing the eGain AI Knowledge Hub™ in the “AI for Customer Experience” category and eGain Composer™ in the “Customer Service Innovation of the Year” category.
The International Business Awards are the world's premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide -- public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small - are eligible to submit nominations. The 2026 IBAs received entries from organizations in 82 nations and territories.
More than 3,400 nominations from organizations of all sizes were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories.
Both winning entries center on eGain's approach to grounding enterprise AI in trusted, governed knowledge. The eGain AI Knowledge Hub is the governed knowledge foundation for enterprise AI. It unifies siloed content from sources such as SharePoint sites, CRM knowledge bases, and policy systems, then applies AI, expert curation, and review and approval workflows so contact center agents, self-service channels, and AI agents and workflows all work from the same verified source of truth. Judges recognized it as a mature enterprise-grade AI solution, highlighting measurable customer outcomes such as gains in containment, cost savings, and resolution quality.
eGain Composer opens that same knowledge foundation to developers through APIs, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and SDKs in Python and TypeScript, so enterprises can build their own AI applications on trusted knowledge. Its four layers span a curated knowledge base, a retrieval engine for search and natural-language answers, agentic flows that pair LLM reasoning with deterministic logic, and tooling to monitor knowledge health and review AI output. It was recognized for that architecture and its built-in evaluation capabilities, which let organizations adopt the components they need without replacing existing systems and tools.
"Being recognized with two Stevie Awards in this year's International Business Awards reflects the trust our customers place in governed, enterprise-grade knowledge as the foundation for their customer service operations,” said Ashu Roy, CEO of eGain. “The AI Knowledge Hub and Composer reflect that Knowledge is instruction for AI, and that governance is integral for AI to achieve desired results. Congratulations to our team and all of those nominated, and thank you to the customers who made this recognition possible."
Stevie Award nominations were evaluated by more than 200 business professionals worldwide serving as judges on 9 specialized committees. Stevie Award winners were determined based on judges' average scores during the independent judging process in June and July.
Winners will be celebrated during a gala event at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse on Wednesday, 28 October.
